THE WEEPING CHERRY. I SAW a cherry weep, and why? Why wept it ? but for shame Because my Julia's lip was by, And did out-red the same. But, pretty fondling, let not fall A tear at all for that : Which rubies, corals, scarlets, all For tincture wonder at. Tincture, colour, dye. |  Cherries and Gooseberries on a Table. [det.] François Garnier, 1644. Le Louvre, Paris. |
